Inspired by the 1984 Olympics, he secured the city’s first marathon in 1986, insisting it was for the people, not just the runners. From 11,000 starters to 27,000 this year—with Olympic qualifiers crossing the finish line—the race thrived under his leadership. His legacy also includes decades of environmental work as chairman of the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Though controversies arose over logo rights and political ties, his family remembers him as a beacon of optimism and community, whose impact endures in every stride of the marathon and every breath of cleaner air in Southern California.
